I was watching the Austrailian Open today when I realized Roger Federer is sporting a new Wilson Tennis Racquet. On the outside is a completely different paint job. Hopefully that's not the only thing that has changed. Wilson.com hints at a new racquet due with [K]ontrol, Power, [K]omfort...aka the [K] factor. Not much else is known about the raquet. In the preview video at wilson.com, Roger himself even says we have to wait and see what the [K] factor is all about.
Roger is also going to be sporting different tennis bags throughout the Aussie Open which hints at the new racquet.
What does this new racquet mean??
(1) Well, hopefully Roger's previous model, the nCode Six-One 90 will come down in price, along with the other racquets in the nCode line. There racquets are great racquets. I currently use the nCode Six-One 95, and wouldn't mind upgrading to the [K] factor. From the few pictures of the new racquet I don't notice too much change in the body or string pattern, so it appears to be easily adapted to from his previous model.
(2) There is most likely going to be a sale on Wilson Bags...and actually TennisWarehouse.com is currently selling Wilson bags dirt cheap. Get 'em while you can.
(3) Wilson is about to start selling a boat load of new racquets, and they wont be able to meet the demand like there was for the previous model. I remember I was on a month waiting list...and this was after it was out for atleast 4-5 months already. But the $200 or whatever it was at the time was worth it. Basically Roger is the best right now, and everyone wants to be like him.
So, keep an eye out for the new raquet. Checkout wilson.com and tenniswarehouse.com. I really like the new paint job. I liked the previous model's also, but this one really catches my eye and I know the fans are gonna go crazy over it. Can't wait to get my hand on a demo.
Enjoy the Austrailian Open!!
